Our Free Quilt Block Patterns Library continues with blocks whose name starts with E-M.

Fully illustrated, beginner-friendly instructions include directions for multiple sizes for each patchwork design.

Pressing directions are easy to find when they're highlighted in yellow.

Pictures of the sample block during construction are shared each step of the way.

If you're experienced, the cutting instructions, technique advice and any downloads may be all you need.
